Knead and bake
Like most people who have tackled bread baking, we have had our yeast-related disasters over the years. There was the dough that didn't appear to be rising and was finally tossed into the trash while a new batch was started. Several hours later, the first batch was discovered, rising quite nicely in the trash, pushing garbage out of its path. Of course, that problem was similar to the large quantity of dough placed in the refrigerator to rise. When the power went off overnight, the dough exploded from the plastic wrap, looking like an alien life form poking out in all directions. In spite of the occasional disaster, we are usually very pleased with our bread making efforts and try new recipes whenever time allows. Here are a few recipes that have worked consistently in our kitchen.
